Albergues from Porto to Compostela along the coast?

Hello everyone,
I am doing a pilgrimage from Lisbon to Compostela in a week and I have a question regarding accommodation on the part f the route from Porto to Compostela. I would like to walk along the coast from Porto and I would like to ask someone who is familiar with this route if there are many Municipal albergues and Religious albergues. I know there are quite a few private albergues, but I would like to avoid those. I want to go along the coast through Matosinhos, Vila Do Conde and continue to Esposende.
If you have any links to the list of albergues or maps for this route I would be really grateful if you could share these with me.
Thank you

Hi Romster - are you doing the coastal route, or are you following the coast (known as the Litoral)? The Litoral route generally does not have municipal albergues, but you only have to come inland a short way (typically less than 3km) to return to the coastal route and use those albergues. This is what we did a couple of years ago. We stayed at: Labruge, Marinhas, La Guarda, Ramallosa, Redondela, Portela, Herbon - but some of those were (too) long days. I loved the Litoral route though - walking on beachs and boardwalks, but the marking is not always great - I did use GPS - although as long as you keep the sea on the left.....
Regards,
Phil.
